Episode 103's


"Go home, don't worry, I can take care of myself," said Elsa who is now back sitting sweet on the sofa.


"You eavesdropping on my conversation?" Accuse Robin and Elsa of just putting her shoulder out. "I'm sorry, because of me, Mama so hate you," said Robin full of regret.


"It's nothing new to me to hate people" Elsa replied with a wry smile. "Everyone I love has hated me, let alone your mother who is nobody." he continued when he remembered the story of his love that ran aground and ended he was hated by the people he loved the most.


"You don't have to defend me in front of your mama either, because the person who hates us will never believe any explanation of ourselves," elsa said again as she closed the pizza box while Robin could only listen in silence. "Just go home, I'll call you if I need anything!"


.........


At Elsa's request, Robin returns home and is greeted with a look of disappointment.


"I can explain everything, Ma" Robin said softly.


"Are you seduced by that woman, eh?" Bu Anita asked coldly while smiling cynically. "There won't be any smoke if there's no fire, Rob. Are you also in a relationship with that cheap lady?"


"Ma, Please! Stop calling her a cheap woman, she's got a name, Ma!" Reply Robin.


"Aren't you the one who called her a cheap woman?" Robin was stunned to hear what his mother said, because it was all true.


"We misunderstood that time, Mama," said Robin, he knelt in front of his mother who was currently sitting on the sofa. "Now everything is clear, Elsa is not Papa's mistress" he continued.


"What magic did he do to you, Rob? Until you keep defending him like this? In the meantime, you were enthusiastic about ruining his life, and what's going on now?"


"What?" Pekik Bu Anita with both eyes that glared perfectly, he looked at Robin in disbelief and then he laughed. "You're not funny, Rob!" He cried while laughing blandly, but as he stared right in Robin's eyes, Bu Anita immediately felt weak, his chest felt tight, his head hurt and he breathed.


"I'm sorry, Ma" Robin said as she gently touched her mother's hand. "I've been busy taking care of Elsa and my baby-to-be, I have to look after them, Ma." she continued with a sad look.


"How can you, Rob?" Bu Anita asked with a voice stuck in her throat. "Did he tease you until you wanted to go to a cheap lady's bed like that?" Bu Anita's sharp hiss that made Robin's sad gaze now turned into a gaze full of anger, but considering that what was in front of him was the mother, Robin tried to hold back her emotions.


" It's not what Mama thought, Elsa never teased me at all, Ma. I forced him and took him to my bed, which I was.." Robin's words stopped, his tongue felt like it was a hoax to admit that he had raped Elsa.


"Mama doesn't want to know, Rob. You have to make Elsa drop her shit!" Exclaimed Bu Anita who made Robin immediately glared in surprise, his chest rumbled to hear what he said the woman who had given birth to him, his emotions could no longer be held back.


"Did Mama just ask me to kill my son?" Robin with a voice that shakes.


"That child would be a disgrace to our family, Robin. That kid could ruin our family's good name!" Firmly Anita's mother who made Robin's chest feel so tight, she looked at her mother with reddened eyes, her jaw hardened and her hands clenched firmly, he said, Robin stood upright which made the mother have to look up to look at him.


"Why should it always be a child who pays for his parents' sins, Ma?" Robin's hiss is sharp. "Throughout the years I had to suffer for Papa's behavior while Mama was busy with Mama's heartache because of Mama's stupid love, until you forgot there was me who needed your love. And I don't want to be like you, who have to let my son pay for my sins!" Bu Anita's heart gasped at what Robin said, especially when Robin never spoke to her like that.


"And how can a mother like Mama tell me to kill? How can you, Ma?" His fists with increasingly reddened eyes. Bu Anita could only open her mouth without knowing what to reply Robin with, Robin's anger and disappointment towards her mother was so obvious in her eyes.


"I'm not going to kill that kid, he's going to grow up well and I'm going to take care of him lovingly!" robin growled before he finally returned to snatch the keys to his car and he left his mother who was still silent sculpting.
